Picture of mini Bay area Beauty and her Beast goes viral

TAMPA (FOX 13) - A “tale as old as time", a song as old as rhyme”…costume as cute as can be!

An adorable photo of a mini Bay area beauty and her beast is blowing up the internet!

It was posted on the Polk County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page this week after they called for locals to share pictures of their kids in costume.

Dozens of entries have flooded the page. Some kids are dressed as cops (or as Sheriff Grady Judd himself); others are dressed as pumpkins and one even donned a devilishly cute costume…but there was one princess who stood out among them all.

A photo showing a little girl dressed as Belle sitting alongside their family pug, perfectly dressed as her beast, has gone viral.

As of Thursday morning the image had received over 720,000 likes, and had been shared just shy of 160,000 times!
